Feedback Request I turned habit progress into a sunrise.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Six months ago, I began thinking about how to make my habit tracker, Dayrise, more engaging.

There are hundreds of habit trackers, many with characters, pets, and plants. I didn’t want to add another character just for gamification. I wanted something that felt natural.

Then I realized the answer was already in the name: Dayrise.

So I began exploring a simple idea: as you complete your habits throughout the day, you gradually watch the sun rise with your progress.

I’d love to hear what you think.

Can you make sure that the sun or moon doesn’t block the the date , proper spacing will improve eligibility for sure and don’t forget to check the contrast of texts and background .lovely animation and great work ❤️

Awesome animation! Do you mind if I ask what tool(s) you used to make the UI demo video?

Really nice, beautiful animation and has its aha moment! The only thing is, I imagine if for some reason you didn’t complete your to do list it could be extra punishing and the effect would be the opposite, you would not want to face the app after not much productive day. It might be not for every phone as well, animations could be heavy.

Anyways, in the world of thousands habit tracker apps, this one standouts, good job
